About this product

Product Information

English summary: On October 22, 1941, twenty-seven members of the French Resistance were executed in response to the assassination of a German officer in Nantes. The official reporter of this episode, Ernst Junger, traces the events leading up to the execution, describing the difficulty of the situation. He also provides the letters written to their loved ones by the twenty-seven men. French translation of the German original. French description: 22 octobre 1941: en represailles de l'assassinat d'un officier allemand a Nantes, le jeune resistant Guy Moquet, le syndicaliste Jean-Pierre Timbaud et le depute Charles Michels sont fusilles avec 24 de leurs compagns dans une clairiere de Chateaubriant (Loire-Atlantique). Le chroniqueur officiel de cette premiere execution de masse d'otages francais, n'est autre que le veteran Ernst Junger, 46 ans, dont le texte inedit est publie ici. Redige dans le style des chancelleries, donc sans ambition litteraire, precise son traducteur Julien Hervier, ce rapport, demande par le haut-commandement allemand a Paris au heros des tranchees a valeur historique. Il retrace l'escalade infernale des attentats et de leurs represailles exigees par Hitler et decrit dans le detail une situation impossible, telle qu'on ne peut que commettre des fautes, soit qu'on agisse, soit qu'on s'abstienne. Autre abime, celui qui separe les donneurs d'ordres de ceux qui s'appretent a mourir. Ernst Junger a pris soin de traduire et de joindre a son memorandum les lettres d'adieu a leurs proches des 27 fusilles qui sont reproduites ici, certaines pour la premiere fois. Y figure, bien sur, celle de Guy Moquet, lue tous les 22 octobre dans les ecoles francaises. C'est a partir de ce materiau que le cineaste Volker Schlondorff a realise son telefilm La mer a l'aube, diffuse en 2012 et c'est lui qui presente ce livre realise sous la direction de Sven Olaf Berggotz et publie en Allemagne en 2011 sous le titre Sur la question des otages. Expose des faits et de leurs consequences.
